Madonna and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist and St Catherine of Siena
by MANETTI, Rutilio, Oil on canvas, 101 x 75 cm
Formerly the painting was attributed to Francesco Vanni, Manetti’s teacher with whom he often collaborated. Manetti’s youthful works, datable from the period 1597-1612, still retain much of the Mannerist elements of Vanni’s works as well as those of his contemporary Ventura Salimbeni.
